How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting electrical sensors.
- Inspect door seal: Close the door on a sheet of paper and pull it out. If it slides easily, the gasket may not be sealing. Replace if worn or deformed.
- Check for obstructions: Ensure no ice or debris is preventing the door from closing fully.
- Inspect bin thermistor (if present): Some EdgeStar models monitor bin temperature. Verify the sensor is properly mounted and wiring is intact.
- Reduce ambient heat: Avoid placing the unit near ovens, dishwashers, or direct sunlight, which can warm the bin area.
